Headliner removal from vehicle

Has anyone here removed the headliner as in got it out the vehicle I can remove it and I can take it down but there is now way I can get it out of vehicle it just will not fit any tips on how to get it out the door? I've tried following the WIS instructions which state it need to come out the passenger front door but it's just not happening for me as I'm damaging the headliner in the process.

I've read it may need to be folded slightly but given how brittle the liner is I'm reluctant do do this encase it snaps.

It may be easier to remove the front passenger seat to get it out without bending it? Gives you more room to work inside the car, too.
